Today GA DNR Wildlife Resources Division issued a press release regarding the false media information about the 2013-2014 deer seasons. As posted on www.georgiawildlife.com and www.dirtroaddispatch.net two weeks ago, the reduction of doe or either sex days does not reduce the overall season. The Georgia deer season length would remain the same under the proposed regulations. The only change would be the either sex days. This proposed change was at the request of many Georgia hunters. The reduction of either sex hunting days accomplishes the need to improve the deer population in some of the northern zones. Although not our initial recommendation, the staff at DRD fully support this decision.
It is important to research and educate yourself on the proposed hunting seasons. Please don’t rely on the news media to provide you with this information. Reliable websites will provide you with the links and sources of the information. Many of the media outlets do not have a staff person with knowledge on these subjects to correctly report the information. We are not saying to not trust the media, but when it comes to outdoor reports, it is beneficial to have people that are involved in the field reporting the information.
If you have any other questions regarding the proposed regulations for the 2013-2014 seasons, please go to www.georgiawildlife.com or check our previous report on www.dirtroaddispatch.net or email us at dirtroaddispatch@ymail.com.
